Amnesia: Rebirth

The follow up to Frictional Games’ seminal 2010 horror game delivers, but the ride is a little clunky, and not quite as original as you might hope.

Amnesia: Rebirth is one of the most thrilling survival horror games in recent memory – one that is anything but forgettable.

A brilliant tale of terror, even if the ride is a little old and clunky.

Amnesia: Rebirth shows an inventiveness that The Dark Descent only hinted at. And it’s certainly creepy enough to satisfy the hunger for something spooky this season.

| 33bits | Diego Sierra | 70 / 100 | 10-27-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is hardly a stumbling block, but it is a clear step back on Frictional Games’ so far ascendant trajectory. Its lack of identity and its abuse of clichés, both playable and plot, are a serious warning about the alarming creative stagnation of a genre in need of fresh air. | Read review |
| 3DNews | Денис Щенников | 8.5 / 10 | 10-25-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth has a compelling story, grim atmosphere and a solid fusion of gameplay and storytelling. But it just can’t quite reach the heights of SOMA. | Read review |
| Atomix | Rodolfo León | 82 / 100 | 10-21-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth feels like a huge step forward for the franchise and any horro fan should definitely give this a try. | Read review |
| Attack of the Fanboy | Brandon Adams | 4 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth won’t dramatically shift the modern horror landscape like its predecessor did ten years ago, yet it’s an excellent addition to the genre nonetheless. It’s an excellent marriage SOMA’s narrative sensibilities with The Dark Descent’s more terrifying pacing, capable of standing out in the now crowded market. It won’t replace SOMA as my all-time favorite horror game, but it’s up there. | Read review |
| BaziCenter | Hamed Mohamad pour | 7 / 10 | 11-01-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth carries you until the end with its beautiful story, and even though its level design is not the best and the game gets repetitive in its second half, it is still an enjoyable experience worth your time and money. | Read review |
| Bazimag | Seyed Ali Rooholamini | 8.2 / 10 | 10-27-2020 | With a unique and engaging story and some innovations to the old formula of its genre, this not just another one of the samey first person horror games we’ve been getting throughout the past decade or so. There are some technical problems and the jump scares are a little overused but all in all, this is a good title and worth sinking time into. | Read review |
| But Why Tho? | Eva Herinkova | 8 / 10 | 10-27-2020 | Overall, Amnesia: Rebirth is a fantastic, terrifying experience. The story grapples with not just fear of the supernatural, but fear of failure, survival’s guilt, and a plethora of other challenging emotions… Amnesia: Rebirth delivered on every level, cementing itself as a must-play for horror game fans. | Read review |
| Chalgyr’s Game Room | Izzy Gadoury | 7.25 / 10 | 11-09-2020 | I didn’t hate Rebirth, but I also wish I’d liked it more than I did. | Read review |
| Checkpoint Gaming | Charlie Kelly | 8 / 10 | 10-24-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is one that is well worth prioritising in your ever-growing list. Take the plunge and descend into darkness… if you dare. | Read review |
| Chicas Gamers | Igone Martínez | Recommended | 10-20-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth keeps the amnesias essence. You can see the Frictional Games’ work evolution here. Recommended for all those who like to explore, experience psychological fear and, to a lesser extent, solve puzzles. Not recommended for those who do not like to live stooped to advance and have a hard time practicing stealth. | Read review |
| COGconnected | Lou Sytsma | 80 / 100 | 10-31-2020 | Overall, Rebirth is a deeper game than Dark Descent, which had a more visceral impact because it was a new experience and relied much more on jump scares. Still, because the questions being asked of Tasi require more thought from the player, the decisions made linger and their consequences will haunt you long after finishing the game. | Read review |
| Critical Hit | Brad Lang | 8 / 10 | 10-26-2020 | Despite some boring locales and an over-reliance on the darkness just for the sake of it, Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent horror game with some fun puzzles, well-written characters, and genuinely terrifying moments. | Read review |
| cublikefoot | Chase Ferrin | Not Recommended | 10-31-2020 | It has its positives – mostly its early setting and overall horror mechanics – but the negatives vastly outweigh them. The setting and level design take a nosedive, the puzzles can be a bit iffy, and the story, while not “bad”, is told in one of the worst ways possible. The protagonist as well – who starts off strong – becomes increasingly less likeable as the game goes on, with constant, unnecessary dialogue ruining a good bit of the immersion. | Read review |
| Cultured Vultures | Mike Worby | 8.5 / 10 | 10-21-2020 | Rebirth subverts player expectations by offering intriguing new features and wonderful world design. Even if the puzzles are sometimes obtuse, Rebirth is well worth your while. | Read review |
| DualShockers | Kris Cornelisse | 9 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Spiralling towers, endless deserts and impossible geometry; Frictional’s return with Amnesia: Rebirth showcases why they’re the masters of horror | Read review |
| Easy Allies | Michael Huber | 4.25 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth arrives just in time for Halloween to scare the crap out of you! | Read review |
| Eurogamer | Vikki Blake | Recommended | 10-19-2020 | Frictional returns with a subversion of horror tropes, though it’s not quite the measure of other games in the series. | Read review |
| Expansive | Brad Baker | Recommended | 11-05-2020 | Amnesia Rebirth is the most ambitious game in the series. It also has the biggest production values, with some legitimate shocks and horror, and a well-engineered story, all told. While it may be far from perfect, it definitely shows how open-ended the Amnesia series has become and how flexible they can be with a license that seemed certain to be confined to spooky churches. While it didn’t quite grab me the same way SOMA did, it’s easily the best Amnesia game to date, and one of the better horrors I’ve seen this year. | Read review |
| FingerGuns | Toby Andersen | 5 / 10 | 10-23-2020 | With a muddled story that leaves much unanswered, and a series of half-baked mechanics that feel a decade out of date, it’s hard to recommend Amnesia Rebirth as a way to satisfy your scares this Halloween. You’ll more than likely want to forget all about it. | Read review |
| Game Informer | Ben Reeves | 7.5 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | If you’re looking for a good scare, Amnesia: Rebirth delivers, but prepare to feel lost and confused along the way | Read review |
| Gameblog | Jonathan Bushle | 8 / 10 | 10-21-2020 | Amnesia : Rebirth is, despites it’s name, a new episode into the saga. We follow Tasie, lost in the desert after a crash plane, looking for the other survivors and it’s a true pleasure to live its story, very well written, even if some gameplay mechanics feel quite outdated. | Read review |
| Gamefa | Mehdi Reazaei | 8.5 / 10 | 10-25-2020 | Amnesia Rebirth is the best choice if you are looking for a real horror game. Gameplay Is awesome and story is very unique and engaging. Some technical issues might bother you, but they don’t ruin the experience at all. | Read review |
| GameGrin | Luke Greenfield | 6.5 / 10 | 12-19-2020 | Fitting my thoughts on Amnesia: Rebirth in a single paragraph feels like an impossible task. It’s an effective character-driven narrative with forgettable characters; a tense horror game with a distinct lack of horror. Rebirth is exactly what the developers set out to create, which was not the Dark Descent clone that some people were hoping for. | Read review |
| Gamersky | 金闪闪老里 | 8 / 10 | 11-04-2020 | Although both the gameplay and the story don’t stand out, the overall experience still keeps me engaged all the time. | Read review |
| GameSkinny | Mark Delaney | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Though its scares don’t reach the heights of the original, Amnesia: Rebirth remains a must-play horror game for delivering a story more akin to a brilliant novel. | Read review |
| GameSpew | Richard Seagrave | 9 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | All you need to know as a horror fan, or simply a brave gamer, is that Amnesia: Rebirth is a masterfully-crafted experience. There are no next-gen graphical features such as ray-tracing to fawn over, but its visuals are still top-notch and performance is solid. Just as important, its audio and sound design is simply outstanding. They come together to immerse you in one of the most terrifying experiences ever to be put into video game form, but one that also makes you think. | Read review |
| GameSpot | Phil Hornshaw | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | The follow-up to Frictional Games’ seminal 2010 horror game tightly hones the developer’s approach to story, frights, and frustration. | Read review |
| GamesRadar+ | Leon Hurley | 4 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | A dark and twisted piece of playable horror fiction that delivers a memorable story. | Read review |
| GameWatcher | Luiz H. Coelho | 8.5 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | While this is certainly a return to form for the franchise, the game doesn’t quite escape the shadow of the original, with the forced narrative aspects sometimes overtaking gameplay. Nevertheless, when judged by its own merits, Amnesia: Rebirth is a quality horror title made by passionate developers out to tell a disturbing story. At the end of the day, I’d recommend this one to any horror fan up for some interactive Cosmic Horror this Halloween season. | Read review |
| GamingBolt | Pramath | 9 / 10 | 10-20-2020 | Frictional Games’ long-standing goal to weaponize players’ own fears against them bears fruit in Amnesia: Rebirth, in their most ambitious and tautly designed work to date. | Read review |
| GBAtemp | Tom Bond | 8 / 10 | 10-21-2020 | Overall, I definitely recommend you pick up Amnesia: Rebirth if you’re any kind of a fan of survival horror games. It’s a worthy successor to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and while the gameplay doesn’t change much, the new story and monsters definitely make up for it. | Read review |
| God is a Geek | Chris White | 8.5 / 10 | 10-26-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent example of how to build tension, and the vulnerability Tasi feels throughout never gets any easier. There are great puzzles and a well-written story that keeps you gripped until the end. | Read review |
| Guardian | Rick Lane | 3 / 5 stars | 10-29-2020 | The Swedish studio’s latest offering tracks a plane-crash survivor as she grapples with her new, terrifying reality | Read review |
| Hey Poor Player | Jonathan Trussler | 4.5 / 5 stars | 10-28-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a worthy addition to a classic series. It buries the player deep in an oppressive atmosphere of fear like a gravedigger spading dirt onto a coffin. If the state of the world today isn’t terrifying enough for you, picking up Amnesia: Rebirth will certainly sate your lust for scares. | Read review |
| Hobby Consolas | Daniel Quesada | 88 / 100 | 10-19-2020 | A remarkable adventure and an excellent horror game. The way it mixes tension and brief reliefs will make you come back for more. And it also offers an engaging personal drama. | Read review |
| IGN | Kyle Campbell | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is one of the most thrilling survival horror games in recent memory – one that is anything but forgettable. | Read review |
| IGN Italy | Biagio Etna | 8.9 / 10 | 10-22-2020 | Despite a few small clichés and a merely functional technical department, Amnesia: Rebirth manages to be consistent to the end, offering a profound and terrifying experience. If the woodworm insinuated by a videogame manages to escape from its content by undermining the user-container, then it will have performed the most difficult task: to push to reflection through a silent path of transference and identification, to really live outside the fictitious nightmare that created it. | Read review |
| IGN Spain | Álex Pareja | 8 / 10 | 10-22-2020 | Amnesia Rebirth is the best game of Frictional Games and one of the best horror games of 2020. Hopefully in the future they will improve their narrative and their puzzles. | Read review |
| INDIANTVCZ | Barbora Šalandová | 9 / 10 | 11-23-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is one of the best horror games available today, despite few small bugs it contains. In any case, what wrongs it the most is the painfully slow start. | Read review |
| Jump Dash Roll | Jon Peltz | 8 / 10 | 11-17-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a horror roller coaster that flies by, even if parts of the narrative and the game’s stealth and physics system aren’t always up to task. It has a lot on its mind and is never afraid to give the player a new encounter and eschew a previous idea entirely. Chances are that by the end of the game, you’ll have plenty to remember. | Read review |
| KeenGamer | Kira Laib | 9 / 10 | 10-22-2020 | 10 years after Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Frictional Games decided to dive into the madness again. However, Amnesia: Rebirth is a completely different title: better written, more ambitious and more diverse in its themes. This game is a result of all the knowledge and craftsmanship gained by the Swedish studio after 14 years. | Read review |
| Merlin’in Kazanı | Alparslan Gürlek | 80 / 100 | 10-14-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a game that deserves the name of the series with its gripping story and exquisite design. Anyone who loves horror games should buy and play. | Read review |
| Metro GameCentral | GameCentral | 6 / 10 | 10-20-2020 | A disappointing sequel to The Dark Descent, but while the horror elements can seem mundane at times the storytelling and characterisation remain impressive. | Read review |
| MonsterVine | Samantha Lienhard | 4 / 5 stars | 10-27-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth stumbles a little with its narrative-based approach and certain gameplay choices, but every time I started to feel frustrated with its direction, it had a nightmarish encounter waiting to remind me that no one does heart-pounding terror quite like Frictional Games. | Read review |
| New Game Network | Ben Thomas | 66 / 100 | 10-26-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a step back for Frictional Games. It offers little substance in the way of puzzles, exploration, survival, or psychological horror. Aside from an excellent sequence within a spooky fort, the rest is an uninteresting mess that relies too much on scripted detours. | Read review |
| Noisy Pixel | Azario Lopez | 8 / 10 | 10-23-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a product of a studio maturing into their skills. They’ve mastered the sense of narrative storytelling by crafting beautiful atmospheric environments instead of relying on straight horror. While the pacing can come to a crawl at certain moments, there’s no denying this is a terrifying game that fits well within the developer’s catalog. | Read review |
| Oyungezer Online | Gülhis Canpolat | 8 / 10 | 10-28-2020 | It doesn’t only keep the spirit of Amnesia alive, also adds to it. | Read review |
| PC Gamer | Leana Hafer | 91 / 100 | 10-19-2020 | A brilliant tale of terror, even if the ride is a little old and clunky. | Read review |
| PC Invasion | Jason Rodriguez | 8.5 / 10 | 10-21-2020 | With wonderful voice acting and atmospheric presentation that keeps you immersed and on the edge of your seat, Amnesia: Rebirth manages to provide an exciting experience. Of course, there are a few downsides. It’s not as scary as previous offerings, the AI can be a little clumsy, and the weak conclusion to the story will leave you wanting more. | Read review |
| PlayStation LifeStyle | George Foster | 7 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | It’s frustrating to not be able to talk about the bits of Rebirth that I liked the most due to a fear of spoiling things, but just know that there’s a lot to uncover that makes the bits that I liked less worth going through. Although the pacing and second half of the game let things down a bit, an awesome story and a campaign full of tension make Amnesia: Rebirth worth playing through for both the horror fans and the horror fearful. | Read review |
| PlayStation Universe | Dan Twohig | 8 / 10 | 10-30-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth may not have the wow factor of modern AAA visuals, but it offers so much in its direction, effects and sound that it has an unbelievably immersive draw. What it lacks in raw gameplay mechanics it makes up for with a consistently engaging series of scenes, puzzles and set pieces. Amnesia: Rebirth is a terrifying cosmic thriller that is accessible enough for all types of players, but certainly should be a welcome addition in the library of any Horror fan. | Read review |
| Polygon | Michael McWhertor | Recommended | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth shows an inventiveness that The Dark Descent only hinted at. And it’s certainly creepy enough to satisfy the hunger for something spooky this season. | Read review |
| PowerUp! | James Wood | 6 / 10 | 11-21-2020 | Rebirth‘s romanticised version of the genre is perhaps best forgotten | Read review |
| PSX Brasil | Francisco Maia | 80 / 100 | 11-05-2020 | The new chapter of Amnesia delivers an intriguing and well-crafted horror story, which promises to please fans of H.P. Lovecraft’s supernatural tales. The game inherits many of the features introduced in “The Dark Descent”, but does not deliver a remarkable evolution in gameplay. Although the gameplay structure is a little archaic, the experience is recommended for its deep and immersive narrative. | Read review |
| Push Square | Liam Croft | 4 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | For the few things Amnesia: Rebirth gets right, there is a mountain of reasons why it feels like Frictional Games is still stuck in 2010. This hide and seek style of gameplay has long outstayed its welcome and the game doesn’t do enough to lessen the disappointing impact that brings. It’s heartbreaking to say, but after the fantastic SOMA, maybe the Swedish developer shouldn’t have bothered returning to what it thinks it knows best. | Read review |
| Rely On Horror | Steve Summers | 6 / 10 | 10-24-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a confused game with big ambitions and some great elements but is unable to pull everything together. | Read review |
| Rock, Paper, Shotgun | Alice Bell | Not Recommended | 10-19-2020 | An accomplished horror adventure from accomplished horror developers, Amnesia: Rebirth is a worthy entry in the Amnesia series that never quite gets as original as you might hope. | Read review |
| Saudi Gamer | عصام الشهوان | 7 / 10 | 11-02-2020 | A decent return to the series even if it doesn’t push the series in any way forward. Technically and mechanically flawed but the world and story with its twists and turns is what makes it worth trying. | Read review |
| SECTOR.sk | Ján Kordoš | 7 / 10 | 10-30-2020 | New Amnesia still offers dark ambience, but is not as absorbing as her predecessors. | Read review |
| Shacknews | TJ Denzer | 9 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a solid return to form for Frictional. It has everything I’ve come to expect from the folks behind SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but ups the horror game in meaningful ways appropriate to this particular entry. | Read review |
| Sirus Gaming | Jarren Navarrete | 7 / 10 | 11-05-2020 | Amnesia Rebirth’s story could be considered disturbing. Though to those who played the previous installments, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Rebirth doesn’t just input fear in you by showing you the tortured forms of man but horrifies you as well by showing you the darkest actions of what man is capable of. If you have the stomach to brave Tasi’s journey, then I fully recommend trying out Rebirth for yourself. | Read review |
| Softpedia | Cosmin Vasile | 7.5 / 10 | 10-26-2020 | The best part of the game remains the atmosphere, every element of the game being purposefully conceived to contribute to the gloomy feel, that will grow heavier as you advance through the narrative. We cannot say that Rebirth is revolutionary, despite bringing several new gameplay elements, but it is still a solid horror game, recommended for both old-time fans and newcomers alike. | Read review |
| SomHráč.sk | Martin Černický | 75 / 100 | 10-26-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth successfully breathes new life into the cult-classic series and even though it’s not as good as the 2010 original, it’s worth paying attention to. | Read review |
| SpazioGames | Domenico Musicò | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth tells a mature story about loss and human resilience. After SOMA, the new direction chosen by Frictional Games is finally clear. It’s a turning point for the horror genre. | Read review |
| TechRaptor | William Worrall | 6 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Strong gameplay and atmosphere don’t make up for obvious plot twists. However, Amnesia: Rebirth is still worth playing for the things it does right. | Read review |
| The Digital Fix | Andrew Shaw | 9 / 10 | 10-23-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is pervasively terrifying in a way very few video games manage to be. | Read review |
| The Games Machine | Emanuele Feronato | 9 / 10 | 10-30-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a survival horror where the “survival” component is guaranteed, as there isn’t any event that can lead to the death of the protagonist, steering the experience towards the “horror” component and making the most of the fear of the dark and a particularly distressing story made unpredictable by various plot twists. Three different endings and the ability to scare without splatter effects, but relying on the feeling of vulnerability, make this game a must play even for those used to more frenetic gameplay. | Read review |
| TheSixthAxis | Steve C | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent narrative experience with some genuinely taxing environmental puzzles and effective sense of atmosphere. What really got under my skin, was the story being told of grief, loss, panic, and desperation. Playing as the pregnant Tasi and vicariously experiencing her own growing horror is something that will stick with me for a long while, not least because this game manages to be so focused on a woman’s body without any hint of sexualisation or objectification. For this, if for nothing else, Amnesia: Rebirth is a groundbreaking title in gaming horror. | Read review |
| ThisGenGaming | Justin Oneil | 8.5 / 10 | 11-02-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is yet another excellent horror title from Frictional Games as it blends a very memorable narrative with some great puzzle design and plenty of scares. Those who have grown tired of the run and hide mechanics likely won’t enjoy it though. Tasi is a character who they wrote so well and seeing her go through everything that she does in this game is something I won’t soon forget. | Read review |
| Unboxholics | Λεωνίδας Στραβάκος | Recommended | 10-20-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a worthy successor to the series created by Frictional Games a decade ago. It tackles the painful and familiar feeling of loss, marrying in a wonderful way sadness with cosmic terror. If you liked The Dark Descent or in general if you are one of those who want to experience a creepy journey into the abyss of paranoia that will attempt to devour your mind, then look no further. | Read review |
| Use a Potion | Unknown | 8.5 / 10 | 10-23-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth marks a triumphant return to form for the series, with the horrifying story and eerie atmosphere sure to send plenty of chills down gamers’ spines. Whilst there’s no denying that it doesn’t feel as innovative as it did back in 2010, there’s still scares aplenty as you embark on Tasi’s unnerving journey to not only survive but maintain her sanity at the same time. | Read review |
| USgamer | Chan Khee Hoon | 4.5 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | Making a sequel to one of the most acclaimed horror games in recent memory may be a tall order for some, but Frictional Games has done it with aplomb with Amnesia: Rebirth. Without straying far from the formula that made Amnesia: The Dark Descent so popular and feared in equal measure-the clever use of jump scares, immersive puzzles and the light-dark dichotomy-Rebirth has reinvigorated its brand of horror with a haunting narrative that’s as moving as it is refreshing. Rebirth may still be a bit too much to bear for players who don’t usually venture into horror, but it’s a sequel that should please ardent fans and horror masochists alike. | Read review |
| VGChartz | Evan Norris | 7 / 10 | 10-29-2020 | At times the game can feel too scripted, and its approach to “game overs” is dubious, but in general it delivers the scary scenes and disturbing atmosphere Frictional fans have come to expect. | Read review |
| Video Chums | Trey Griffeth | 7 / 10 | 10-31-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a decent horror game yet it suffers from underwhelming and predictable payoffs. It simply isn’t as good as its predecessor so if you’re going into it expecting something as good as Amnesia was 10 years ago; you’re going to be disappointed. Otherwise, it’s a good horror game that will scratch whatever itch you have for virtual frights. | Read review |
| VideoGamer | Josh Wise | 7 / 10 | 10-20-2020 | In the earlier, sandy hours, that restlessness is a boon-the work of a developer surveying the drier sweeps of a genre and divining a bright pool of ideas. | Read review |
| WayTooManyGames | Kyle Nicol | 8.5 / 10 | 10-30-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a return to Frictional Games’ breakthrough franchise. It might not be as terrifying or tense as the original game and this will surely disappoint some fans. But for me, there was enough horror mixed into the top notch storytelling to provide one of the best survival horror experiences I’ve played in years. | Read review |
| Wccftech | Francesco De Meo | 8 / 10 | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a more than worthy new entry in the popular series, and one of the best horror games released this year, thanks to its engaging story, very good writing and unnerving atmosphere that can make playing the game feel almost uncomfortable. And if a horror game manages to achieve this, small issues like a lack of gameplay innovation and limited replay value don’t really matter. | Read review |
| We Got This Covered | Eric Hall | 3.5 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a solid enough adventure for fans of the genre. That being said, although it’s better than its predecessors in different ways, the fact that it can’t quite match the narrative highs of SOMA or the scares of The Dark Descent makes it a bit of a forgettable journey. | Read review |
| Windows Central | Carli Velocci | 4 / 5 stars | 10-19-2020 | Amnesia: Rebirth is a wildly ambitious horror title that seeks to be standalone and to answer a lot of of questions posed in The Dark Descent. It’s gruesome in its style and tragic in its story, and whether the pain will be worth it is up to you. | Read review |
